At the end of several games this season, it’s seemed obvious the Texans coaching staff “pulled the goalie” in order to ensure a loss. While doing so is highly unethical by NFL standards (not to say that the NFL’s even remotely close to an ethical organization), anyone who believes no team ever loses on purpose is fooling themselves.
Yesterday, it seemed as if the Texans pulled the goalie before the game started.
At the end of the first half, the Texans had gained 6... yes, SIX, yards total.
During the post game presser, Lovie Smith was drawn into an unhappy exchange with the press.
